Chapter 33: The Trial of Courage

The sky above the Undead Forest was covered with clouds, and there was no trace of sunshine. Most of the forest was covered with withered black tree trunks. They should have rotted, but they still stood tenaciously. The ground was covered with swamp mud, and the miasma continued to emerge. The whole space was silent and filled with a gloomy aura. It was indeed a fierce place in the 100,000 mountains, and compared with the "Dead Space".

I couldn't find it all, and I couldn't help but feel anxious. This Mason is so good at hiding, why didn't he show up yet? Didn't he say that as long as he was a wizard in the undead, it was easy to see him? Could it be that the old man was fooling me again? He was secretly cursing the old man, but suddenly he suddenly became cheerful in front of him. On a vast open space, there was a small thatched hut. I thought this should be Mason's residence. The old man just owed to scold him and insisted on finishing these tricks. Wouldn't it be fine if Mason appeared earlier?

Even if you are angry, I dare not neglect Mason, the undead saint. As the saying goes, the county magistrate is worse than to take charge. After all, it can be regarded as my direct superior. If you offend him, if you give me some shoes to wear, I will not be able to take care of it.

When I walked to the door, I was about to knock on the door, but the door opened automatically. I was a little stunned and walked in. It must have been the method of the Holy Magician, so there was nothing to make a fuss about so as not to make people laugh.

The light in the room was dark, but it could barely be seen clearly. A thin old man in black robe stood in the middle of the room, wearing a golden necromancer's badge on his chest, looking at me with a smile, but because there was not much flesh on his face, only a layer of skin wrapped in bones was left, and his smile seemed a bit ferocious, "I am the saint Mason, a brave young man, welcome to the hut of the undead to welcome the important moment in your life."

I looked at Mason, who looked like a skeleton, and felt a little scared. Will the undead wizard become like this in the future? Although I am not handsome, it is not too ugly. If I become so skinny, how can I follow A Feng to sow all those beautiful girls away? Wouldn't I be destined to be lonely for a lifetime in "The World"?

Mason seemed to see through my thoughts, "Don't worry, I became like this just because I have lived for too long and have been over 300 years old. You are so young and energetic, and will not become as ugly as me."

I was relieved just now. I was three hundred years old and it was still early at that time. I had plenty of time to wander around the world, but I was very curious. He was not a dead old man and did not have that divine power. How could he know what I was thinking? I couldn't suppress my curiosity, "How did you know I was worried about this?"

"Because you are not the first to come here, and both of you who have arrived here have asked this question, so I guess you will definitely have the same concerns."

So, two undead wizards have advanced. When I accidentally learned this news, I was half happy and half sad. What I was worried about was that I once again proved that I was a rookie. With such good initial conditions, I was surpassed by people from the same profession. What I was happy about was that I would not attract so much attention from the undead wizards, which could reduce a lot of trouble.

"So two people have advanced, and I thought I would be the first one?"

Mason looked at me seriously, "If I guess correctly, you're Ah Dai."

"Yes, I'm Ah Dai." I didn't expect that I was so famous that even Mason Holy Magic knew me.

"I thought the two I had thought were you, but I guessed it wrong. Fortunately, I didn't disappoint me. You are the third one. According to Lord Death's evaluation of you, it's already very good."

I curled my lips. What kind of good things can the old man do to me? On the surface, he boasted that I was a genius, but he wanted to pull me onto his pirate ship. I still don’t know what to say about me behind my back? I am a rookie, I know without saying it.

I registered my personal information and filled out an advancement application form. I also engage in formalism in the game now. I even need to register and establish a personal file for career advancement. It is said that it is easy to manage and it is troublesome. Could it be that I will have to charge membership fees in the future?

Mason looked at my information and was amazed, "Genius, he is really a genius that has never been seen in a century. No wonder Lord Death values ​​you so much and has high hopes for you. It seems that my undead wizard lineage has hope of revitalization."

He is worthy of being a loyal believer of the old man, and even his tone of speaking is so close. If I were a genius, wouldn’t the two people before be geniuses among geniuses, or would they all be geniuses like me who can become necromancers?

"You old man, don't hurt me. Can you still not know what I am? A standard rookie, a genius. I think the two big brothers who advanced in front of me are called geniuses. Could it be that this is the language of formulas? Whoever you see is this kind of speech?"

"No wonder Lord Death said that you are a little inferior and like to belittle yourself. The reason why those two little guys can advance ahead of you is because of the differences in personal talents. The path you take is different from yours. You are difficult first and then easy, and they are easy first and then difficult, and they will suffer in the future."

What is difficult first and easy first and then difficult is confused. Seeing that I don’t seem to understand very well, Mason patiently explained: “They are both unfortunately dead when challenging the highest difficulty transfer tasks. They are veteran players and are good at obtaining qualifications. Moreover, they do not master the ‘soul contract’, and they also kill monsters and level up in the ‘Neon Space’, so their first-level skills can easily reach the three-star standard. And you are different. Not only do you need to practice the first-level skills to three-star, but you also spend a lot of energy to practice the ‘soul contract’, which can only be in the ‘Neon Space’

It is relatively difficult to obtain qualifications if you use it internally. However, as a necromancer, the "soul contract" must be practiced, and the sooner you reach the five-star proficiency, the better. The undead wizard who cannot master the "summoning of the Undead" has no future in the dangerous human world. If they want to improve their strength, they will not be destroyed by the light church's form and spirit, and they will have to make up for this lesson sooner or later. But at that time, their level was higher. If the strength between themselves and their targets was too far apart, the ability to use skills would not increase much qualifications and mental power. They would have to challenge high-level undeads, and the difficulty was naturally much greater than that when you captured skeletons."

It turns out that there is some truth. After hearing Mason's explanation, I felt much better and almost took a detour. Damn old man, why didn't he tell me these experiences? He still kept saying that I was the star of hope for the undead, but he cherished it himself and refused to give me more benefits. He must blackmail him hard next time he meets him. But if you think about it, you will have to reduce the mental power limit by 5% when you meet him, which is too expensive.

I have been talking for a long time and haven't gotten to the point yet. Don't delay the main business. I will complete the promotion task first. I don't know what the task is. I hope it won't be too troublesome. Xiao Lajiao and the others know that I'm here to advance. If I fail, it's really a shame. Rookie is also a human being, and I don't want to be worse than others. I still have a little vanity and self-esteem.

Speaking of the task, Mason also became serious. He waved his hand and suddenly a black hole appeared on the empty ground. "The mission of advancing to the second-level profession junior necromancer is to enter this black hole and then walk to the end. If you can walk out safely, even if you pass the test of this level, the name of the task is to "Trial of Courage". In order to ensure your safety, you will not suffer too much trauma to your spirit. If you can't hold on, just say the three words "I give up", or the system determines that you are extremely afraid and cannot bear more pressure, and you will be automatically sent back here. Of course, this also means that your promotion is declared a failure. If you want to challenge again, as a punishment for your failure, you must wait three days before proceeding."
